The new SCSI cable has two connectors and one terminator block:
• The "To EXT SCSI Port" connector on one end of the cable goes to the SCSI repeater card.
• The "To Riser Board" connector in the middle of the cable goes to the embedded SCSI controller on the I/O
board (riser board).
• The terminator block on the other end of the cable has adhesive to secure it to the bottom of the NetServer.
Install the SCSI Cable Conversion Kit in this order:
• Disconnect the original SCSI cable from the SCSI repeater card, as shown in Figure 2.
• Disconnect the embedded SCSI controller on the I/O board, as shown in Figures 4 and 5.
• Install the new SCSI cable, as shown in Figure 6.
• Install the HP NetRAID series adapter, and connect the original SCSI cable to it, as shown in Figure 7.
Follow the instructions in this guide, in the HP NetServer LPr Installation Guide, your rack documentation, and the
documentation supplied with the HP NetRAID adapter and any other accessory boards. Observe all cautions and
warnings in these documents.
WARNING Before removing the cover, always disconnect the power cord and unplug telephone cables.
Disconnect the power cord to avoid exposure to high energy levels that may cause burns when
parts are short-circuited by metal objects, such as tools or jewelry. Disconnect telephone cables to
avoid exposure to shock hazard from telephone ringing devices. Note that the power switch does
not turn off the standby power. Disconnect the power cord to turn off standby power.
CAUTION Wear a wrist strap and use a static-dissipating work surface connected to the chassis when
handling components. Ensure that the metal of the wrist strap contacts your skin.
